On the heals of two weeks of Olympic programming, a program where countries come together in the spirit of team play, good will and athleticism, NBC begins their 'after Olympic' programming with the pathetic and repulsive Star Earn Stripes. Even the hottness of Andrew Mclaren (above) nor the old spiced body of Terry Crews (below) can keep this piece of trash from smelling up the joint.
Todd Palin (another reality show Palin's...really...and you wonder why your family is the brunt of jokes across the globe?) and Nick Lachey (yeah, I know) lead this 'celebrity' themed military op themed exercise hour of trash. The military, and those who serve deserve respect, and this show mocks not only what they do, but also fails to see that dying for one's country, fighting for freedom, and all the hell associated with it, should not the subject, for all scripted frivolity of reality television. I am sure most of the 'celebrities,' except of course those who could not get any other gig, are thinking they are honoring the military. The show, just the opposite, besides belittling every person, not to mention their families, who has lost their lives, also gives the finger to the honor, the real honor, that actually serving entails.
